3 yes no decisions:
1st Test drive, Does the joint click and rattle when accelerating in a turn. Yes a joint or multiple joints are bad.
2nd Visual external inspection: If the boot keeping the grease in and dirt out is split or damaged and you are unsure how long its been that way, change the joint. If you are sure that it has been a short time and it passes the first test. Replace the boot.
3rd Manipulate the joint by hand, if it has movement you can feel it is suspect, if clunks or makes noise when you shake the shaft, it needs replacing.
